4-H

The 4H Club movement in the United States began in the early twentieth century. The first club was founded in 1902 in Clark County, Ohio. 4H Clubs have enjoyed a long history in Trumbull County--since 1917. Leaders of the movement, influenced by the loss of knowledge of rural life due to massive industrialization and urbanization, stressed practical education as well as public education for the nation's youth.

Today, the 4H organization is administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture.
